Tea is best with just hot water

No Sugar, tiny, tiny splash of milk, I hate milky tea!

Earl grey isn't bad, have to be in the mood.

Nothing beats a full english breakfast washed down by a cup of Twinings Breakfast Tea!

I'm with Compo re Tea should always be made in a pot.

I used to like Earl Grey too. Now for some reason it makes me feel sickly.

I like darjeeling, no sugar, tiny bit of milk, but the water has to be filtered first so that the tea doesn't taste of chlorine or owt.

Broken orange pekoe's the stuff.
And if you put sugar in tea you should be imprisoned and tortured.

Compo, they boil tea up with milk everywhere in India!

Milk before everytime, think remember my aunt saying it come from china cups and if you pour boiling water into them without milk it can crack them.

In Egypt they make their tea with blocks of sugar in it, never mind spoonfuls. Which is probably why a lot of them have black teeth :razz:

Milk after, helps you get the right colour and you're not fighting it with the tea, plus the tea comes from the leaves better with plain boiling water
